I was actually talking about all the other stuff in Richard's hypothetical platform. A guy who is against wars of choice, against the police state, against an executive branch with ~3 million employees, against the entitlement state, against runaway deficits, etc., is never going to get elected no matter how much people profess to hate those things because any guy who is sincerely against that stuff is going to be portrayed as either a dangerous political extremist or an unserious candidate who can't win.
